Saudi Arabia

Oooooo I say, the UK are revoking the visas of the suspects who allegedly executed Khashoggi

We are flexing out muscles..... what next, a Harrods tax on them?

Yes, that was a dreadful insult to the son.
Absolutely disgusting treatment!
But we will still keep supplying Saudi with an income, no doubt

I guess you need to balance of the Saudis human rights abuse and murder of a journalist, against the jobs and livelihoods of all the British employees in the Defence industries and suppliers that are having their jobs threatened.

Turn a blind eye to it, and we are no better than them.

It's time the developed nations like the US, UK, France and Germany, realised that business has a moral undertaking. We cant do it at any cost - yes, jobs depend on it.... Raytheon in Fife were across the road from where I used to work. They supply most of the guided missile systems the Saudis use in the Yemen. People killers. The UK used to be No.1 in producing land mines - a horrible concept - world leaders in death. We need to take the hit on the affect turning this business away will have.

I hope this link works but yes, yes and yes..... also note that during this magnificent speech, the lady wasn't interrupted one single time!

An excellent resume of the situation in Saudi Arabia and what the UK should do about it. The only pity is that the house was not very full to hear this summary. No doubt, this speech will be pulled apart by the right-wingers who want to sell more and more lethal arms to Saudi Arabia, so that another million kids in the Yemen can starve to death.

Great speech that should be seen as party independent in views. Anyone who disagrees with reasonable suggestions to punish this regime, is a collaborator.

Al Jazeera English news currently reporting "a source in the Turkish Attorney General's Office said their investigative team found traces of hydrofluoric acid and other special chemicals inside the Saudi Consul House" apparently used in dissolving the body of Kashoggi
